Slabbing The Red Oak Log

25 May Slabbing The Red Oak Log

My friend Jim wanted to try moving a massive log that we had cut a few years ago and he figured slabbing it would be a good project for me. So we hauled this 6,000lb log from the forest to my backyard and over the course of a few weeks, I took slice after slice off of it. I am using a Panther Mill II with my Stihl 046. My 42″ bar when mounted in the mill gives me around 35″ of cut width if I remove the dogs from my saw.
